Triggered explotions

[All-Killer]

So this is what i want. For example: You walking in a room and sudenly the ceiling collapse and fall down by a mortar ore somthing. After the explosion you have a hole in the roof and you have the broken roof on the ground with some nice fire. Another example. Youre walking trough a hallway and on both sides on the wall runs some pipe with bezin ore gas. And when you walk trough the trigger: Boom and the pipe is broken and some fire

Is this possible to do? And how? Im sure drofder know's a way

Thanks for reading this.

You could hide and show the broken/unbroken parts when the trigger is used, and have an effect played at the same time.
Something like this

Code: Select all

brokenparts hide();
trig waittill ("trigger");
playfx(level._effect["your effect"], (0, 0, 0));//add your coords
unbrokenparts hide();
brokenparts show();

[All-Killer]

so what are the targetnames then? Please explain it some more.

the trigger for walking through would of course be trigger_touch

and you might want to consider building the normal part first, then copying and pasting that whole part, then with that new part selected hide it. Then make the still visible part broken and rename it. This will give you the original to work with as well as less confusing mapping going on while you make it.

Oke thanks i will test this. Its for a singleplayer map so i think it needs a trigger_once so that it will be triggerd only once. Thanks for the info!

trigger_multiple tbh

shhhh, dont prove me wrong

im looking foward to seeing this, ive always loved scripted events like this.

[All-Killer]

killer i can help u on x fire ^^ luke helpt me with it now i know it

[All-Killer]

Hmm tested it and i get this error: uninitialised varible 'explosion_trig)
explosion_trig waittill ("trigger",user);

GSC

Code: Select all

main()
{
maps\_load::main();

thread explosion();
}

explosion()
{
roof = getent ("roof","targetname");
brokenroof = getent ("brokenroof","targetname"); 
explotion_trig = getent ("explosion_trig","targetname"); 
while (1)
{
brokenroof hide();
brokenroof notsolid();
explosion_trig waittill ("trigger",user);
roof hide();
roof notsolid();
brokenroof show();
brokenroof solid(); 
}
}

[creator]

main()
{
maps\_load::main();

thread explosion();
}

explosion()
{
roof = getent ("roof","targetname");
brokenroof = getent ("brokenroof","targetname");
explotion_trig = getent ("explosion_trig","targetname");
while (1)
{
brokenroof hide();
brokenroof notsolid();
explosion_trig waittill ("trigger",user);
roof hide();
roof notsolid();
brokenroof show();
brokenroof solid();
}
}

make the roof: 'delete' instead hide, this will remove it permanently [till map restarts] from the game
replace 't' with 's'

[All-Killer]

hmm its working for the half: the roof disappears but the brokenroof doesnt appeare. i checked the targetnames and are good. Its for a SP map

[creator]

try adding a small wait time between those 4 hide and show and not solid
like

wait 0.1;

[Luke]

I told him to put the brokenroof hide(); and brokenroof notsolid(); above the while(1) and he said that worked.

[creator]

what does the while(1) do anyway? or dont u know [just that u need to have it]

[9mm]

I believe it just makes it an infinite loop
